Book Description

Men go through life without a plan or a guiding philosophy. The result is, men often give up their dreams too soon or abandon them entirely. No more. This book allows a man to create his own game plan based upon a personal operating philosophy (POP) that comes from a philosophy designed for men. Its a manosophy that offers guidance and charts a path for a man who wants to be transformed into a man of purpose, yet it also requires that a man seek and have happiness as a foundation of any worldview. Men are often denied the right to be happy; they defer it or avoid it. This manosophy establishes what you believe and want in life and how to achieve it so this life is the one you own and desire. It provides diagnostic tools for you to use to review your goals. It offers man-to-man honesty on topics as gnarly as sex, loss, and manipulation by others. You will emerge after reading this with exercises to keep you on track, and you will not ever be alone in your quest. This is a book for men long overdue and celebrates men with respect and offers a modern view of the culture that negates a man finding his own way with power. There is no game you can win without a plan. And the plan may not succeed, but if you have no plan, no manosophy, you will be assuredly following the plan of someone else. It is your life. Now make it follow your plan.

Book Description

Revised 2013 About the Book Achieving "hit writer" status has always been a formidable goal for any songwriter. Never more so however than in the 21st century. Catching the ear of the monumentally distracted, fragmented listener has never been more difficult. Getting their attention, inviting them in to your song and keeping them there for long enough for your song to become "their song" requires more than being just a "good" songwriter. Murphy's Laws of Songwriting "The Book" arms the songwriter for success by demystifying the process and opening the door to serious professional songwriting. Hall of fame songwriter Paul Williams said in his review of the book "If there was a hit songwriters secret handshake Da Murphy would probably have included it." About the Author Ralph Murphy, songwriter, has been successful for five decades. Consistently charting songs in an ever-changing musical environment makes him a member of that very small group of professionals who make a living ding what they love to do. Add to that the platinum records as a producer, the widely acclaimed Murphy's Laws of Songwriting articles used as part of curriculum at colleges, universities, and by songwriter organizations, his success as the publisher and co-owner of the extremely successful Picalic Group of Companies and you see a pattern of achievement based on more than luck.

Copacetic people have spunk and vigor, but they recognize when their faults need forgiveness. When theyre at their best, human beings are copacetic. In this book, well explore what copacetic means as it transforms chaos into an adventure.

Explore destinations and people as Richard shares his unique experiences in some of the hundred nations that he visited for business and pleasure as a travel writer and editor for more than fifty years.

Book Description

"The Orchard" is a sequel to "TOD", the tale about an enormous dog that made a huge impact on a New Mexico family that resides on a thirty- two -acre parcel in a settlement named "The Orchard". Located in the smack-dab center of a New Mexico City, The Orchard introduces new characters—human and animal, friend and foe—that impact the lives of the Gartenberg family. An unusual, dangerous, animal pays The Orchard a visit and provokes considerable excitement for the Gartenbergs and their neighbors. Then there's a federal government game warden that overplays his authority and is excruciatingly embarrassed by the Gartenberg's cunning attorney, Joseph Marx. Two miscreant brothers who attempt to include The Orchard in an ingenious drug-dealing conspiracy provide an element of peril and scheming. The drug venture is spoiled by Ad and Janae; JT, their son; and Tod, their ever-vigilant dog. The adult daughter of Ad and Janae, Michelle, comes to live with them when her contractor husband is awarded an overseas home-building project. Janae sees an opportunity to gain a first grandchild and tries to manipulate Michelle and her husband into taking part in the miracle of pregnancy. The couple wants to wait until Gideon completes the overseas project. Humorous mother and daughter bantering provides a waggish aspect to the tale that leaves the reader wondering what will come in the next book in this sequel, Longears.
